This was an excellent video, describing how a guy took tomato seeds from McDonald's burgers and grew them to full plants over a season.

There's some obvious product placement in a few spots, but beyond that I found this entertaining and worth a watch. From saving and propogating tomato seeds, pruning/thinning plants, adequate irrigation, to final harvest and observations, there's a lot to take away from this very unconventional seed source. Maybe something like this can be a project for the Boots this season or sometime in the future...

Incidentally, does anyone have experience with this guy's fertilizer?
